Well had my first fill this morning. Really didn't know what to expect 'cept I knew a needle was involved so I brought a sleep mask w/me so I wouldn't see the sharp! First poke not bad at all. Stood in front of the xray machine where the nurse determined as I drank the bariam(sp?) that she needed to remove some of the fluid. 2nd poke not so much fun. Ouch. Felt better when I stepped on the scale and see I've gotten rid of 19lbs. !!!! Started back at the pool swimming laps yesterday a.m. Felt really good about being able to still do 60 minutes of continous laps after not having been in the water for 9 long months. I'd gotten rid of 80 lbs. doing just lap swimming 4 years ago, put back on 35 lbs. and with the lapband surgery now I'll be able to get rid of the rest of this discusting fat I've cloaked my body in for so many years. Note: I use the term "rid of" rather then "lost" as I believe when your mind thinks about losing something, you want to find it. And I have no desire to find any of the gone pounds thank you very much!

Well today marks two days post-op. Taking 20 minute walks on the snowy street with the dogs. Struggling to get all the required water in daily. Operation seemed to have gone well tho was in recovery for 4 hours as my bp and heart rate plummeted! Little scary for the hubby who sat watching the monitor. I was so sleepy I wasn't really aware of what was going on at that point. Never really hungry -yet. Never thought I'd enjoy fat free chicken broth, but it tastes amazingly goo...

Starting to waffle from super duper excited to scared stiff about the surgery in one week!
